The 2024 NFL Draft has finally arrived, with the first round taking place on Thursday night in Detroit. And for the first time since 2016, the Los Angeles Rams are likely to make a selection on the first night of the event. And they’ve gone all out to celebrate this occasion.
For a few seasons now, the Rams have rented out a luxurious mansion for their draft days. And in those years, they didn’t have to worry until Day 2, as they had not drafted until the second round in the last seven drafts. But now, with the Rams holding the No. 19 pick and it being very likely they draft at some point in the first round, their draft day mansion is matching the excitement.
The Rams rented out a huge home in Hermosa Beach, California as they prepare to welcome a new crop of players into the mix in L.A. But first, they put a miniature replica of the field at SoFi Stadium onto Hermosa Beach for their annual draft party for season ticket holders, via the Rams:

The Rams then did a more detailed tour of the home that they will be spending the next three days in:

The video spans over six minutes and is the most detailed they have ever been with regard to their draft house. Sean McVay, Les Snead and company are undoubtedly excited about bringing in their 2024 draftees from the comfort of this beachside mansion.
And on Thursday, it will be revealed who becomes the first Rams first-round draft pick since Jared Goff.
Rams rumored to be looking into top 10
Snead and McVay are always going to explore all possible options in regards to their draft picks and potentially making moves, but getting into the top 10 from 19 would be pretty costly.
The top 10 of the draft is expected to be mostly offensive players so it would be safe to say the Rams would be targeting that side of the ball. One player the Rams may have some interest in is Washington wide receiver Rome Odunze, whom the team met with at the NFL Combine.
The team could also potentially target offensive line as someone like Notre Dame’s Joe Alt could be viewed as the long-term answer at left tackle, especially as current starter Alaric Jackson is on a one-year deal.
